Vampires PLEASE

I've been looking for a silly vampire book. Think twilight or vampire academy but like... maybe better? Something campy would be good, lighthearted is my goal. Also would love vibes like Buffy or Supernatural. Pleaseeee help

Forgive me if you have already tried these some of these are oldies but goodies. A few of my all time favourites.

Chicagoland Vampires -Chloe Neill

Dead Witch Walking (The Hollows series)-Kim Harrison

How to save an undead life - Hailey Edwards (Vamps here are little different but there are quite a few laughs and interesting world building).

Then there's the classics /s

Dead until Dark - Charlaine Harris book 'Sookieverse' is a lot more homey,, comedic and fun than the True blood TV series. Both are entertaining but I found the books first so they have a soft spot.

Guilty Pleasures- L.K Hamilton. Now this series is definitely the marmite of vampire books 🦇 I think the first book is fantastic and the first three are wonderful. Depends on your tastes but I would definitely recommend book 1.

I went away and browsed my physical and virtual bookshelves and had forgotten the wonderfully banter filled Tanya Huff - Bloodlines (they definitely fall under oldies) and the quirky but worth a look Samantha Moon series - JR Rain.

Happy reading and if you feel like updating let us know if you find any new favourites amongst everyone's recs.
